About White Coral Bells (round)

Words: anonymous (printed 1916)

Tune: anonymous, printed as "May Bells" in Hollis Dann's Fourth Year Music (1916)

White Coral Bells is an American round about lilies of the valley. Its earliest known printing is "May Bells", in Hollis Dann's Fourth Year Music, a school music reader of 1916, which names no author for it, though it credits most of its other pieces. There it is a round for two voices. Our round is read from that 1916 page, with its words, "deck our garden walk" and "That could happen only when the fairies sing", a fourth lower, in B-flat. Here it is for 2 to 4 singers: everyone sings both verses twice, entering four bars apart, with the tenor and bass an octave lower, and its four lines sound together, one in each voice.
